flsportsfan83 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 I feel a World Series title in our near future.... Oh is that gas from the taco bell I had for lunch? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Anyone excited about this sweep hasn't been a Marlins fan for long. This sweep just sets us up to be swept by an upcoming opponent so that the baseball gods can bring us back down to reality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's that miserable being a fan just get a new "hobby" A lot of it is purely sarcasm, gotta just roll with it. We're diehards, for better or worse. Retaining Mattingly would be beyond worse though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A board where everyone is happy and mostly positive would also be incredibly boring. Edited June 23 by hovertical . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's that miserable being a fan just get a new "hobby" Most of my posts are sarcasm and bad humor but I'll be honest, I haven't watched in weeks, haven't watched regularly in months, and watched even less last year and I don't really miss it right now. And I'm saying this because of your "hobby" description. Hobbies are supposed to be fun, for entertainment, to relax, to chill out from "real life." What good is a hobby that just pisses you off and frustrates you for what feels like 9 out of 10 times that you do it? A hobby that when you're done for the day you feel like you wasted so much time that could have been used on something else?That's not a healthy hobby in my book. I'm still a fan and I'm always keeping an eye on scores and news and I have zero problem with anyone still committing the time to watch the majority of these games in full but I see no problem in taking a breather from this shit show team until they show they're actually worth putting more time into. Admittedly on my end it's burnout combined with having so many other entertainment options as well as real life/family to occupy my time that makes this an easy choice right now, but I think it's very easy to see why someone would take this path now. Right now the Miami Marlins suck until they prove otherwise and it's been this way for the majority of the last 19 years or so, so fuck that.

Right now the Miami Marlins suck until they prove otherwise and it's been this way for the majority of the last 19 years or so, so fuck that. This is exactly where I’m at. I haven’t watched a game in a few days, haven’t watched regularly at all this season, extending into last season. with the team being so Jekyll and Hyde (with more Hyde than Jekyll), it’s not worth spending my time to tune in when they get blown out or come back just to have another 1-run loss because of Don’s unnecessary 3rd inning double switch. I’d rather spend my time doing other things. I will put it on in the background sometimes, while I’m doing other things, but often I’d also rather watch a variety of shows I have recorded instead. with them not bothering to address major holes last offseason and taking the “overpay middle guys approach”, and basically being in the same boat as last year, it’s just not fun to watch. if anything I think the frustration shows we do care. And what that guy posts once or twice a month if that? Ok dude…. that last italics part is directed at the other guy not you, silver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having this option (as opposed to not having this several years ago) makes a big difference. Catch up on a couple episodes of a show I'm behind on that I know I'm enjoying or spend 3 hours watching a team that's probably gonna leave me upset? Come on.

I just got Disney+ last month so I am getting caught up on all things Marvel and Star Wars (Dr. Strange 2 just dropped on Disney so that will be tonight's viewing. WandaVision was yesterday's binge during the afternoon game so I am ready for the movie)... I spend my evenings watching Netflix, Disney+ & Hulu on my main tv and have the game on low in the background on my laptop. I periodically check in to see the score and then it's back to binge watching again... Edited June 24 by CyggyMarlin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hovertical Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 getting rid of Netflix a couple months ago was a glorious feeling. Had nothing to do with the whole password sharing thing either. There's just....nothing on there really. I figure we'll get it again for a month at some point in July once the second half of ST season 4 drops so we can see all the episodes at once but yeah we literally have had it for as long as I can remember (used to have a subscription to both the streaming and disc rental service) but found ourselves not watching anything on it at all for the past 6 months or so - outside of Ozark. We currently have Disney+ but it was mostly because I wanted to watch all the San Jose Sharks game and it was almost free to get Disney+ added alongside the ESPN piece. I think Star Wars sucks hard and I don't care too much for Marvel either haha so Disney+ doesn't hold much appeal for me. We tried AppleTV+ for 3 months on a free trial but the only show I found redeeming was Severance. Mosquito Coast was ok but I could live without seeing season 2 so when the trial was up we ditched it. We still have Hulu because the wife has a few network shows she likes but the bulk of our time is spent on channels offered by Discovery+. I'd be 100% fine with just that package of channels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm holding onto Netflix because of Cobra Kai, Stranger Things and Disenchantment. Once those shows wrap, I'll probably cut Netflix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
